Blogging since 4-27-08. This is my journal. A place to share bits of me, my family and life and other things of interest to me, and I hope to you. A place to meet new friends and bond with old. A place to share my thoughts and projects in sewing, beading and needlework. It only takes a moment to say hello!

Friends ask what I got for Christmas. Well, receiving Christmas presents is not important to me. Giving them is. Mostly I get the greatest joy in giving a gift to someone that does not expect to get one. Like a scarf that I crocheted for my favorite deli clerk at Walmart.

This is my Christmas Eve visitor. He flew past my front window and I could tell he was going to land somewhere. Terry and I hurried to the kitchen window and sure enough, there he was perched in the tree outside my kitchen window. Actually, I think HE is a SHE.

No matter, for some reason I am always thrilled to see a hawk up close. Even though I feed the birds, I have an agreement with hawks. They are welcome, but they can't eat in my yard.

Carol, that was so sweet! I bet you made that deli clerks day!!!...this Hawk is a beauty, but I hope he paid attention to your agreement! A couple of years ago, we had one that came for lunch in our yard twice...I wish I could have made an agreement with him beforehand! xoxo

Just what do hawks eat? We have crows that eat on our light poles or garage roof. I think they are eating rats, mice or ground squirrels as the animals aren't big enough to be rabbits - we have some BIG crows! The problem comes when they drop the animal and the dogs get to it.

I bet your friend who works at the deli just loved what you took the time to make for her...that is so sweet of you! I agree, there is nothing like bringing a smile or warming someones heart when they least expect it!

Love your agreement! ;-) I couldn't agree with you more. They are welcome to visit but no eating in my yard either. How cool that you got a picture.

We just got some pictures of one last week. I will have to share a picture too. ~Lisa

Carol : I like you !Along with gift giving to my two sweethearts at home, to give a little heartfelt gift to someone that has been nice to me through the year but doesn't expect any gift is one of my great pleasure at Christmas !
